Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
3 of the 24 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 21 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in members (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 30 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the count of letting agents by nation and region, built from the registers that are legally required to exist - the Scottish Letting Agent Register, the Rent Smart Wales licence dashboards - joined to the redress and client-money scheme memberships and to the Companies House SIC 68310 population, so the page can say how many agents there are and what share of them is covered by each scheme; the derivation nobody publishes is the JOIN: a register tells you who is registered, a scheme tells you who is a member, and only the join tells you the gap - and the change in that gap release over release
30 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
